Rail passenger with no ticket spat at guard (From The Argus)

Is it only me that thinks launching a police investigation into this "assault" over some kid dodging a £3 train fair is not an efficient use of police time and taxpayers money?

Nope, I think that too!

Then you are both stupid, we need to get this scum identified, charged and locked away.

theft and spit today, a punch tomorrow, a knife 3 weeks later maybe?

Lets hope they have some video of him!

Yep should be hunted down and taught a lesson. But I have to say cancelling a service so the guard could make his report was not a good idea.

I'll bet if the little dirtbag had spat on you the comments would be different. I'll also bet that if you had been on the train and the guard had just let the dirtbag and his scuzzy mates travel with no ticket you would be amongst the first to complain about that as well.

Hear, hear; its not just about the fare, its about someone being able to go about their job of work without being assaulted. I agree that your responses would be very different if it were you or someone close to you.

Hope the dirty little shitehawk is identified, found and prosecuted.

Any assault should be treated seriously and the full extent of the law should be asserted. Yes a spit is minor, but it's still common assault and you can never know what the varmint would do next as Somethingsarejustwro
ng rightly pointed out.

I believe this is the same person who abused a Railman on Brighton Station on the night of the last Brighton F.C. Home Match, he was also spoken to by the BT Police on the Coastway Platform that night.
Your records need to be checked.

Frankly it wouldn't bother me at all, I don't bother complaining as nothing ever gets done so from now on I see nothing!!!

So what do you think is going to happen if they do find him? You reckon he'll hard time do you? Sweet FA will happen. Slap on the wrist perhaps. I agree it is very unpleasant. I also believe that in such cases staff should be supported if they react in an appropriate manner; smash the little sh*t in the nose for example. However, I also think this is one of those things that happens and doesn't need a fortune being wasted on giving a kid a caution.

So its OK to let it go then?, Don't think so and I;d like my taxes to be spent on finding and incarcerating people like him, rather than providing him with the benefits he probably currently enjoys.

Only one word describes this sort of person, SCUM.

That's probably a bit harsh, vivelavive was only commenting!
